Reserve the Artist Lounge
Artist Lounge
Located on the bottom floor of the Cabaret building, the Artist Lounge is a place where artists of all genres unite and share their creativity. It is a welcoming space where people collaborate, network, showcase their creativity, relax, practice their craft, hold meetings, attend workshops, and participate in group art exhibitions. With a small stage, tables, flexible seating, and beautiful wall art, the Artist Lounge is also an excellent space for a business meeting, a class, a poetry reading, or a reception.

Open during regular business hours.
Studio Gallery
Located in the Studio Theater building, our Studio Gallery exemplifies the power of collaboration and synergy between different forms of artistic expression. That's why our exhibits rotate regularly, aligning with the literary themes of many Studio Theater performances. This symbiotic relationship provides an integrated, enriching experience for our visitors. We take pride in featuring the works of professional artists as well as youth artists through partnerships with youth organizations and schools. By embracing various perspectives and styles, our exhibits offer a compelling blend of creativity and innovation. We invite you to explore a dynamic and ever-changing art space.
Open during box office hours and prior to Studio Theater events.

Exhibits
Watch this space for information on upcoming exhibits and submission opportunities!
Visual art has been a part of our history since the Prescott Fine Arts Association was chartered in 1968. The first art exhibit covered all the available wall space on the theatre’s main floor. Since then, each season includes art exhibits that feature many local artists and youth. The annual Visual Art Scholarship Competition exhibit encourages local area students to pursue and be recognized for their creativity and passion for 2-d and 3-d art.
